uncertain pathogenesis
what causes enlargement of cells
glycogen
hypertrophy of organelles
storage changes/error in metabolism (e.g. lysosomal storage disease
hyaline
homogenous, glossy appearance
describes IC proteins depositions (russel bodies, metal inclusions, viral inclusions)
describes EC protein deposits (edema fluid, fibrin, amyloid)
causes of amyloid
EC protein deposits composed of protein fibrils in beta pleated sheet
AA Amyloid
serum amyloid A
AL Amyloid
Ig light chains
AF Amyloid
prealbumin
endocrine amyloid
hormone and hormone-like proteins
type of amyloid in glomeruli in dogs, hepatic sinusoids in birds
AA amyloid
type of amyloid in lymphoid follicles
AL amyloid
type of amyloid in pancreatic islets or renal medulla in cats
endocrine amyloid
biochemical features of amyloid
insoluble
indigestable
morphological features of amyloid
amorphous
hyaline
extracellular
stains red/orange with congo red
stains green with Thioflavine T
Some parenchymal cells have a few small round, perfectly clear cytoplasmic spaces
reversible fatty change
All parenchymal cells contain a very large, perfectly clear, round cytoplasmic space
irreversible fatty degeneration
Some parenchymal cells have modest cytoplasmic swelling
reversible hydropic change
All parenchymal cells are markedly swollen
irreversible hydropic degeneration
pyknosis
shrinkage, clumping of nuclear chromatin
karyorrhexis
nuclear fragmentations
karyolysis
nuclear fading
Pro-Oxidants
xanthine oxidase
fenton & haber weiss reactions
superoxide anion, singlet oxygen
hydroxyl radical
nitric oxide
hydrogen peroxide
anti-oxidants
superoxide dismutase & catalase
glutathione peroxidase/reductase
vitamins A,C,E
transferrin, lactoferrin, ceruloplasmin
ATP depletion role in cell injury
affects membrane transport, protein synthesis, lipogenesis, phospholipid turner, and metabolism
Ca influx role in cell injury
activates enzymes (phospholipases, proteases, ATPases, endonucleases)
mitochondrial injury role in cell injury
mitochondrial permeability transition –> signal for apoptosis
membrane damage/increased permeability role in cell injury
ATP depletion, Ca activates phospholipases and direct damage by toxins/viral proteins/complement/perforins/chemical/physical agents
